DDA
Our DDA was formed in July 1986 to prevent deterioration and promote economic growth within a business district by developing, adopting and implementing development plans, which may include proposals for construction, renovation, repair, remodeling or rehabilitation of a public facility, an existing building or a multiple-family dwelling unit that aids economic growth in the Downtown District.
Authority
To implement a development plan, the authority may construct, rehabilitate, equip, improve, maintain or operate any building within the Downtown District for public or private use. The authority may acquire and own, lease or dispose of any land or real and personal property that the authority determines to be reasonably necessary to prevent deterioration and promote economic growth in the business district. The authority may also acquire and construct public facilities and make land improvements. The Downtown Development Authority Act also allows municipalities to take private property under the power of eminent domain and transfer the property to the DDA.
